Background
Western International Syndication was a television syndication company launched by Chris Lancey in 1987. The company was involved in a lawsuit with the Apollo Theater Foundation over trademark infringement in 2004.[1]
(September 12, 1987-September 16, 2001?)
` Logo: On a space background, a globe of the Earth is seen rotating, as a comet emerges from its back side and hits California. A large flash appears and a silver abstract "W" emerges from the collision spot. The "W" then stretches beyond the Earth as it zooms into the background before the "W" swings into place. The text "WESTERN INTERNATIONAL SYNDICATION" then appears below the logo as the space background turns to black. There are lines above and below "INTERNATIONAL".
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: An ominous synth score, alongside a whoosh as the W zooms out and a loud "BOOM!" as it fully appears.
Availability: Rare, long gone from TV. Was seen at the end of syndicated prints of the TV-movie Child in the Night. Also seen on Showtime at the Apollo, the syndicated American adaptation of The Krypton Factor,Conan the Adventurer (1997), andThe Immortal (2000). Last known appearance was on a September 16, 2001 airing ofShowtime at the Apollo.
